The People’s has spoken
It’s interesting to get the Communist Party’s official news on the NAC MG Longbridge ceremony in the People’s Daily, which includes claims of NAC’s popularity in Europe (false; it is MG’s) and the highest honour being given to the MG 7 (née MG ZT) at Auto Shanghai, the Shanghai Motor Show (probably true, but so far I have not seen this reported in western media). The criticisms have been removed (e.g. whether 130 was too small a workforce and union demands for an increase, and the age of the MG TF design shown). On the whole, however, I believe the Longbridge ceremony to be good news, so this article doesn’t really rub me too badly.
